2. Indianapolis (11-0) -- For the first time since 2001, Peyton Manning has thrown multiple interceptions in three straight games. Yet, for the fifth consecutive game, Manning has led the Colts from behind in the fourth quarter to keep them undefeated. It sure makes for an entertaining three-way competition for NFL MVP honors with Drew Brees and Brett Favre.

7. Dallas (8-3) -- Uh-oh, it's December. In his up-and-down NFL career, quarterback Tony Romo has gone 15-2 in November games, but just 5-10 in the month of December – including a pair of postseason losses. In fact, Dallas still hasn't won a playoff game since the 1996 season.

11. Green Bay (7-4) -- Here's a person who understands the real meaning of Thanksgiving. In a spectacular return home, former Michigan standout and Heisman Trophy winner Charles Woodson made a gift of $2 million to U-M's Mott Children's Hospital in Ann Arbor. He then struck a Heisman pose in the end zone upon returning a fourth-quarter interception for a touchdown against the Lions.

27. Kansas City (3-8) -- The late Hall of Fame linebacker Derrick Thomas will become the 10th player in Chiefs history to have his number retired in a special halftime ceremony at Arrowhead Stadium this afternoon. He died in February 2000 following a car crash a month earlier.

32. Cleveland (1-10) -- It just keeps getting worse for the Browns. Defensive tackle Shaun Rogers suffered a season-ending injury against Cincinnati and is no guarantee to return to the team next year. Mr. Rogers turns 31 in March and is due $6.9 million in base salary in 2010. If he is a roster casualty under new front-office leadership, he could always return to the Lions, right?
